Ban Ammo to save the Condor!

Ed,

That isn't completely unheard of. Maryland used to have a statute that prevented a minor child from suing a parent as a result of a car crash. However, they changed that law several years ago and made it that a child could sue a parent for a maximum amount of $25,000 as a result of a car accident. That amount might have changed, but I haven't had the need to look it up recently.

Suing a spouse or parent for being negligent behind the wheel makes some sense. In Maryland, funds recovered for a personal injury action are not considered marital assets, so the wife, had she lived, would have been able to divorce that moron and take the money with her. The money that the daughter received would have gone to a trust account for the benefit of the daughter and the father would have to petition the Court every time he wanted to take money out of the trust fund. As far as him being the beneficiary under his wife's estate, that would make me sick. However, I know there is a rule that you cannot inherit under an estate if you had something to do with the death of the person, so maybe the money went elsewhere. Hopefully, he feels bad enough and God is punishing him by leaving him alive. Something also tells me that he suffered pretty severe injuries too.
